Look for motivation elsewhere, buddy. Chances are that you've both grown up some and aren't the people that you used to be. You're grasping at the past that never was. I'm not saying that it can't happen. I'm just saying that you're moving backwards. If you want motivation without the baggage of an ex, look here on MFP for…

Wow... you're gonna need more than just one pineapple ...

I used to do accessibility testing to make sure that systems developed for the Federal Government are usable by folks with disabilities (especially soldiers returning from war). I liked to think that I was making a difference in someone's life or some greater good. It felt like something with purpose and meaning. I never…

I haven't drawn a line in the sand about cursing yet. They heard from a commercial that they should stop using the word "gay." I ended up talking to my 8 year old about what that word is supposed to mean, what it means now, and how it's being mis-used to hurt people. And I also explained to her that it's never ok to use…

Midnight snacks. And I never log them. (sobs into chips)

We'd probably watch Frozen one last time. Not by choice. My kids love that movie.

I'm sorry that your friend sounds like a tool. Seriously, to dump a friend over superficial reasons like this... well you're better off without him. That being said, I hope you find what you're looking for. Don't think about the number on that scale too much. It's better to be healthy than to be so thin that you could hang…

If you can't have an open discussion with your FIANCE about mortgages, and debt, then how are you going to have a marriage? If I were in his shoes, I would not respond well to being cornered. Even worse, it sounds like your commitment is contingent upon him buying you a house: (sigh) Tell him you need space for the baby.…

Since we're talking about skills....

Are you making your manfriend enough sandwiches? How about breakfast sandwiches?

This girl in HS hit me with a water balloon a couple times in the head at a picnic. Years later, one of her friends told me that she was waiting for me to ask her out. It just never happened and she had certainly moved on.

I'm in the oblivious category. I spent my high school years chasing after one particular girl who happened to be one of my best friends. Years after she friend zoned me, she asked me why I never noticed any of her friends. She told me that they were hitting on me and I was blind. Yep. And I spent a lot of time in hs…

well played. very well played.

Loner Athlete Church guy Mix Tape guy to a girl that friend zoned her and everyone knew about it. Friends with a lot of girls. No reason. Just friends. Which was off-putting to the one that I wanted. Comic book reader New guy in one high school "Ch--k " in the other high school. <--- yes. People called me that to my face.

Here kitty kitty kitty.....

I've shaved my head at the start of a football season but that was because we were doing 2 practices a day in summer heat in full pads. It was more of a buzz than a shave. I've always thought that a pixie cut can be cute on the right person (including a couple here) Dear OP, if you do it, just remember to put sunblock on…

A husband brother? Does that mean your kids will call him Uncle Daddy?

Forgiveness is something you do for yourself. You've already won by proving her wrong. If you intend on attending, I recommend talking things out beforehand. If not, consider doing it after the wedding. She's going to be a ball of nerves already with wedding stress. Who needs the drama? Life has enough drama without…

Rule of thumb: Never assume that someone is with child unless the baby is visibly hanging out of them. One of my coworkers had a formal complaint opened against him for this.

Imperial system you say??? "These aren't the [units] you're looking for..." Down with the Impire!

IBTL. Thanks for the visuals. I totally threw up in my mouth a little...

snowball fights. Not allowed to throw snow at people anymore at school.

I'm not racist, but... sometimes I feel like a little Chinese. Truth: I'm not really little.

Are you on any hypertension medicine? If you've lost a lot of weight, maybe you need to adjust the dosage. Your blood pressure might be too low. Good luck.

I could try to write something smart but people have already beat me to it. I'm a big fan of this article about Staci from Nerd Fitness. I think I've posted this link at least a dozen times. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ There's a lot of personal failure and success…

....thinking... comic books sound awesome...

I have a few gray hairs on my head but I don't bother with them. If it really bothered me, I'd take a sharpie to it and be done. There's just not enough to bother with. What annoys me is when I spot a white nose hair. There's no way that I'm sticking a sharpie up there.

Sit on the toilet backwards like Butters. You know who you are.
